EditorÕs Introductory Note:

 

HereÕs a heat wave to announce the beginning of summer a bit early! Hope youÕre all managing to stay (relatively) cool.

 

A couple of neighborhood events are coming up soon, with more to follow later in the summer, including our fabulous National Night Out Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, August 6 (mark your calendars now). Meanwhile, please consider helping us give our neighborhood park a little TLC with the work party taking place on June 22  (see item 2) and/or attending a garden social this coming Sunday (see item 1).

 

—Nancy Carleton, HNA Co-Chair and E-News Editor, halcyon92@gmail.com

 

 

1. Neighborhood Soup & Salad Garden Social for Halcyon Thrive, Sun. 6/16, 6-8 p.m.

 

EditorÕs note: Halcyon Thrive is a relatively new neighborhood initiative for those who wish to take the next step in mutual community support. Halcyon Thrive offers a ÒConversationsÓ program in peopleÕs homes, where neighbors share knowledge and experience, as well as occasional social gatherings – all of which help us to get to know one another better. WeÕre also exploring ways to support one another when simple needs arise, which could include Òaging in place,Ó or multigenerational support of other kinds. The gathering hosted by John and Khoi on Sunday is open to all neighbors (some Halcyon Thrive events are promoted to members only). If youÕre interested in joining the Halcyon Thrive Google group, where we plan and announce Thrive events, please email your contact information, including email and phone, to halcyonthrive@gmail.com.

 

Garden Social

Sunday, June 16, 6-8 p.m.

2329 Webster Street

 

John Steere and Khoi Le are hosting a Halcyon Thrive Soup Social on Sunday, June 16, from 6 to 8 pm at Webster Haven, 2329 Webster Street (2nd house west of Whole Foods Market). Come and connect with your neighbors on FatherÕs Day. Bring something to share with others: soup or salad, a friend, and stories. And with summer arriving, we will be enjoying one anotherÕs company in the back garden.

 

John and Khoi will have a pot of soup and big bowl of salad available. We invite you to bring your own contribution of one of these courses, and to stay for as long or as little as you wish. Looking forward to seeing you on FatherÕs Day at Webster Haven!

 

* * * * * * * * * * * *

2. Work Party in Halcyon Commons, Sat. 6/22, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

 

Location: Halcyon Commons (Halcyon at Prince).

Time Frame: Come anytime between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Sat. 6/22 (even twenty minutes helps!)

Goals: Weed in the park and nearby planted areas; enjoy the company of neighbors

Fuel: Refreshments courtesy of Whole Foods Market

Fresh-brewed coffee for early arrivals courtesy of neighbor Susan Hunter.

 

This work party relies on neighbors (no student volunteers for this one, alas!). If you can help, just show up at Halcyon Commons. Bring your own weeding tools, or weÕll loan you some. Children welcome!

 

* * * * * * * * * * * *

3. Whole Foods Market News: Next Drop-in Progress Meeting Fri., 6/14, 8:15-9:00 a.m.

 

EditorÕs note: News from Whole Foods Market, courtesy of Store Team Leader Hayden Richards, follows. Whole Foods Market generously provides supportive food and beverage donations to our work parties, National Night Out Ice Cream Social, and key HNA CERT events during the year. We greatly appreciate the partnership in taking good care of the neighborhood we share!

 

Next Drop-in Progress Meeting, Friday, June 14, 2019, 8:15-9:00 a.m.

Whole Foods Market (check in at Customer Service)

 

These meetings are held at the front of the store or outside, and the purpose is to share our plans for ongoing changes in the store, street litter control, and progress on any of the ongoing issues we discuss with HNA reps and nearby neighbors. The Store Team Leader is usually present, and anyone is welcome to join us. Of course there will be complimentary coffee or tea. Our goal is to follow up immediately on any issues that we hear about, and to hear how the store can be a better neighbor. As always, if there are ever any urgent issues, please call the store at 510-649-1333 and ask for the shift manager on duty. We have new shift leaders being trained, so please send an email to the emails below so we can follow up appropriately. Always feel free to swing by too, if youÕd like to have a word with us.

HNA’s Halcyon Commons Disaster Prep Supply Cache contains items intended to benefit the entire neighborhood in the event of disaster (primarily first aid, search & rescue, and communications supplies plus items for command center setup in Halcyon Commons). You can help us have what we need on hand in two ways: (1) Make a financial contribution for purchasing additional supplies to HNA (not tax deductible) or to Berkeley Partners for Parks, earmarked Halcyon (BPFP
is our nonprofit fiscal sponsor, so a check through them is tax deductible); mail or drop off your check to HNA Treasurer Susan Hunter, 3044 Halcyon Court, Berkeley, CA 94705. (2) Contribute any of the following items in-kind (supplies MUST be new or in EXCELLENT condition):

  • Duct Tape (this is a versatile supply that allows us to improvise with common household items in the event of a disaster: lots needed!);
  • Batteries (AA, C, D), regular & rechargeable; Battery Recharger for AA, C, D;
    • Quality Walkie-Talkies with 8-mile range, 22 channels (i.e., Motorola Talkabout T5500 two-way radios);

    * Halcyon Neighborhood Association’s Guiding Principles

    HNA is a community group dedicated to stewardship of the Halcyon Neighborhood in South Berkeley (bounded by Telegraph, Ashby, Adeline, and Woolsey). We encourage positive, proactive, partnership-oriented approaches to improving the well-being of our neighborhood, with an emphasis on the following goals:
    * Community building (such as regular potlucks, special events in the park, mutual support among neighbors, and multiblock yard sales);
    * Ongoing care of Halcyon Commons (a park conceived of and created by the neighbors who founded HNA) under the nonprofit umbrella provided by Berkeley Partners for Parks and in partnership with the City of Berkeley;
    * Continued greening and care of the neighborhood (planting trees, cleaning litter off streets, graffiti removal, and helping maintain public landscaped features);
    * Strengthening neighborhood watch (crime watch, community safety walks, emergency preparedness, and disaster supply cache);
    * Networking with the larger Berkeley community (nearby neighborhood groups, neighborhood businesses, City staff, and elected officials);
    * Sharing information and empowering residents to become proactive in addressing neighborhood needs and in expressing individual viewpoints regarding civic affairs (spreading news through meetings, flyers, and the HNA E-News, and providing contact information).
    To fulfill these goals, HNA provides a sanctuary from partisan politics so that neighbors with diverse viewpoints feel welcome to participate. Thus, HNA only takes stands on larger issues when there is near-unanimity among neighbors. By focusing on immediate local concerns, we find we can have a greater impact and get better results from the time we invest. Guided by these principles, HNA invites neighbors who are willing to work together in a spirit of partnership to participate at whatever level makes sense for them. Opportunities for serving on our volunteer Steering Committee and project-oriented committees are available to neighbors who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work together in a nonpartisan spirit. Neighbors are invited to step forward into leadership positions defined by the work they do in accordance with HNA’s primary goals and guiding principles.

    The Halcyon Neighborhood Association E-News: The HNA E-News forwards items of general interest to neighbors in the Ashby/Telegraph/Woolsey/Adeline area of south Berkeley (HNA’s borders), including announcements about community-building potlucks, greening projects, crime watch, disaster preparedness, and work parties in Halcyon Commons park. If you’re receiving this email, you probably either signed up at a neighborhood event or a neighbor forwarded it to you. Please note that to prevent spam, HNA does not share your email address with third parties. If you wish to be removed from this list, please contact HNA Co-Chair Nancy Carleton/Halcyon Neighborhood Association at halcyon92@gmail.com. Feel free to pass the HNA E-News on to other neighbors you think might be interested.

    To submit items for the newsletter: Email brief, unformatted content or links (no graphics or attachments please!) to HNA E-News Editor Nancy Carleton at halcyon92@gmail.com. Crime-watch reports and news about neighbors (births, new jobs, announcements about home businesses or creative projects) are especially welcome. Please note that due to the volunteer nature of the endeavor, the E-News does not include “letters to the editor” or “commentary,” but will gladly include links to such items written by neighbors in the Ashby/Telegraph/Woolsey/Adeline area and published elsewhere (the
    Berkeley Daily Planet has a large section devoted to opinion). Also, please note that the E-News is typically published the second week of each month; submit your item early if it relates to a future event, and there’s a greater chance it will be included.

    HNA Halcyon Safety Walk & Neighborhood Watch Listserv: For those interested in getting breaking crime-watch news, discussing ways to make our neighborhood safer, and perhaps participating in night-time and daytime safety “dog” walks (dogs not required!) to build community and serve as eyes on the street, please contact halcyon92@gmail.com indicating your interest in this listserv, and you’ll receive an invitation to join. For everyone’s safety, be sure to include your full name, address, email, and phone.

    HNA Disaster Preparedness Listserv: If you’re interested in helping out with neighborhood disaster preparedness, please contact halcyon92@gmail.com indicating your interest, and you’ll receive an invitation to join. For everyone’s safety, be sure to include your full name, address, email, and phone.

    HNA Steering Committee Listserv: If you’re interested in serving on HNA’s Steering Committee in alignment with HNA’s Guiding Principles, email halcyon92@gmail.com to indicate your interest. The Steering Committee conducts most of its business via listserv (with one or two in-person meetings annually); members agree to assist with at least one or two HNA events during the course of the year and to answer Yahoo group polls to aid in planning.

    Halcyon Neighborhood Association Facebook Group: Our HNA Facebook group (http://cts.vresp.com/c/?BerkeleyPartnersforP/602147a249/9a00c7ec5d/36acb93edf/gid=292160762499) gives neighbors fresh opportunities to network, build community, and share ideas about issues of mutual concern. Open to immediate neighbors, friends from nearby neighborhoods, and former neighbors who want to stay in touch.

    HNA Blog: If you would like to view previous newsletters online (and comment via a blog format, though this is a low activity blog), please visit http://cts.vresp.com/c/?BerkeleyPartnersforP/602147a249/9a00c7ec5d/8af94d44a8.

    HNA is an adopt-a-park affiliate with the nonprofit Berkeley Partners for Parks (BPFP). Thanks to VerticalResponse for the donation of email services for sending the HNA E-News!
